United Gold: Choosing Seats On Austrian Airlines

When booking a flight operated by Austrian Airlines, you may encounter difficulties when trying to reserve your seat in advance. Austrian Airlines does not allow advance seat selection on their website. However, you can call Austrian Airlines directly, and they will assist you in assigning seats over the phone. Alternatively, you can check in online as soon as the check-in opens to select your preferred seats. If you have booked your flight through a partner airline, such as United, you will need to obtain the Austrian Airlines-specific confirmation or reservation code (also known as the Passenger Name Record locator or PNR) to manage your booking and select seats on their website.

United Gold members can choose seats on Austrian Airlines by calling Austrian Airlines

If you are a United Gold member and want to choose your seat on an Austrian Airlines flight, you will need to contact Austrian Airlines directly. This is because Austrian Airlines does not offer advance seat selection.

To choose your seat, you can either call Austrian Airlines or go to their website. If you are trying to assign seats through the United website, this will not work. You will need to obtain the Austrian Airlines locator number for your booking and then log in to the "My Bookings" section of their website to select your seat.

If you are unable to find your Austrian Airlines locator number, you can find it by looking at your reservation in United. It should be listed as a second record locator. Alternatively, you can call United and request the Austrian Airlines confirmation number.

Once you have the correct confirmation number, you can use it to log in to the Austrian Airlines website and select your seat. Keep in mind that some airlines will not let you choose your seat until 24 hours before the flight. In addition, some seats may require an additional fee to be selected.

By following these steps, United Gold members can successfully choose their seats when flying with Austrian Airlines.

Firstly, regarding seat selection, Austrian Airlines does not offer advance seat selection. This means that you will not be able to choose your seat before check-in.
